K-12 projected to sell less than Crybaby, guess she couldn't assault the charts either. Wannabe Billie Eilish is over

Melanie has never been a big seller so this is not even a drag eve1 

She found her niche and has a big and loyal following, she’ll be fine.

Atlantic funded $6m for her to shoot a feature length film alone. Consider the added costs of producing and promoting the album, they were banking on her hype from Crybaby. K-12 era will be lucky to break even

But most of the revenue that came from CryBaby didn’t come from sales because the album wasn’t selling crazy either and actually took years to even get a gold certification and ended up platinum mostly due to streaming.

 

I doubt they were expecting huge numbers because if so, they’re just incredibly stupid because she’s not a commercial force. She has a specific demographic and a big following, she really doesn’t appeal to the masses.
